2011 American Pain Society Annual Scientific Meeting

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在请求支持旅行津贴，以鼓励年轻的研究人员参加美国疼痛学会（APS）的年会。这些年轻的研究人员正在开始他们的职业生涯在疼痛的基础和临床研究。APS是一个多学科社区，汇集了不同的科学家，临床医生和其他专业人士，以增加对疼痛的知识，改变公共政策和临床实践，以减少疼痛相关的痛苦。年度APS会议提供了一个独特的论坛，用于传播循证疼痛研究和治疗的前沿进展，优化科学家和临床医生之间的互动。诊断和管理临床疼痛的临床医生与定义疼痛机制和治疗方法的临床前科学家之间的这种双向翻译交流是改善疼痛治疗的基石。 我们寻求资金的唯一目的是为年轻的研究人员提供旅行奖励，他们提交了一份摘要，该摘要已被我们的同行评审程序接受，因此正在从事研究。这些年轻的研究者可能来自任何研究培训背景（基础或临床科学，心理学，医学或生物统计学），可能处于任何培训水平，包括学生，住院医生，博士前学员，博士后研究员或在过去3年内完成博士后培训的人员。所有申请人必须是APS会员。APS青年研究者旅行奖计划旨在指导和培养下一代疼痛研究人员。 疼痛，包括急性和慢性疼痛，影响着超过5000万美国人的生活，是一个主要的公共卫生问题。年度APS会议提供了一个独特的论坛，用于传播循证疼痛研究和治疗的前沿进展，优化科学家和临床医生之间的互动。通过青年研究者旅行奖，APS有助于下一代科学家的培训和创造性发展，他们将推动疼痛研究和治疗向前发展。会议为学员提供了一个机会，参与尖端研究的兴奋，并与资深科学家和临床医生互动。最终，这些互动将改善疼痛的管理。 免责声明：请注意，以下评论是由审查员在研究部分会议之前准备的，并且以基本上未经编辑的形式提供。 虽然审查人员有机会根据小组讨论情况更新或修订其书面评价，但不能保证在会议讨论之后更新了个人评论。 因此，这些评论可能并不完全反映小组讨论结束时单个评审员的最终意见或小组的最终多数意见。因此，讨论的简历和摘要是评审员在会议上实际认为关键的最后一句话。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are requesting support for travel stipends to encourage the participation of young investigators at the annual meeting of the American Pain Society (APS). These young investigators are beginning their careers in basic and clinical research in pain. The APS is a multidisciplinary community that brings together a diverse group of scientists, clinicians and other professionals to increase the knowledge of pain and transform public policy and clinical practice to reduce pain-related suffering. The annual APS meeting provides a unique forum for disseminating cutting edge advances in evidence-based pain research and treatment in a setting that optimizes the interactions between scientists and clinicians. This bidirectional translational interchange between clinicians who diagnose and manage clinical pain and pre-clinical scientists who are defining the mechanisms of and treatments for pain is the cornerstone of improved pain therapy. We seek funds solely for the purpose of providing travel awards for young investigators who have submitted an abstract which has been accepted by our peer review process and therefore are engaged in research. These young investigators may be from any research training background (basic or clinical science, psychology, medicine, or biostatistics) and may be at any level in training, including students, residents, predoctoral trainees, postdoctoral fellows, or those who have completed their postdoctoral training within the last 3 years. All applicants must be APS members. The APS Young Investigator Travel Awards program is designed to mentor and nurture the next generation of pain researchers. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Pain, both acute and chronic, affects the lives of more that 50 Million Americans and is a major Public Health problem. The annual APS meeting provides a unique forum for disseminating cutting edge advances in evidence based pain research and treatment in a setting that optimizes the interactions between scientists and clinicians. In part through the Young Investigators Travel Award, APS contributes to the training and creative development of the next generation of scientists who will drive pain research and treatment forward. The meeting gives trainees an opportunity to participate in the excitement of cutting-edge research and to interact with senior scientists and clinicians. Ultimately, these interactions will improve the management of pain. Disclaimer: Please note that the following critiques were prepared by the reviewers prior to the Study Section meeting and are provided in an essentially unedited form. While there is opportunity for the reviewers to update or revise their written evaluation, based upon the group's discussion, there is no guarantee that individual critiques have been updated subsequent to the discussion at the meeting. Therefore, the critiques may not fully reflect the final opinions of the individual reviewers at the close of group discussion or the final majority opinion of the group. Thus the Resume and Summary of Discussion is the final word on what the reviewers actually considered critical at the meeting.
